So Very Loved - Simon Says Stamp Always There Release

Good morning! I had a tiny bit of leftover die cut pieces from a card I shared a couple days ago, so I had to put them to use and create another cute little strawberry card using the NEW Simon Says Stamp Always There Release! This is my 3rd card using this set, and I still can't get enough!

As I mentioned above, I still had one little set of the Strawberry Pint dies from the previous card I posted a few days ago (you can see it HERE). For those cards, I die cut using Lipstick, Green Apple, Green Leaf, Honey, and white cardstocks, then ink blended a bit of Brick ink on the red layer of the strawberries, a bit of Kale on the large leaves, and a bit of Buttercream ink on the white flowers. I pulled out some fun Simple Stories Pink Lemonade pattern paper and cut it with one of the new Rounded Rectangles dies to create a fun coordinating background, then die cut a Stitched Rectangle from Starlight cardstock - the perfect soft gray tone. I grabbed a die cut banner from EZ Strips XL Banners (sometimes I cut them on their own to use with other sentiments or to tuck into a card like this), and used one side of it to arrange my little berry cluster. I added sentiments stamped and die cut with Keep Palm, and a little sprinkle of Sprout Dazzling Gems to finish this simple little card off! Here is a closer look:

God Knows and Will Comfort - Simon Says Stamp Always There Release

Good morning! I'm here today with a duo of cards using some of the NEW Simon Says Stamp Always There Release! I had fun using the same design, and just reversing the backgrounds to get a different look. I can't decide which one I like best!

I started off by die cutting and assembling the Luna Flower twice from Cornflower, Sage, Ivory, and Honey Gold cardstock. I then used the new Elongated Hexagons dies to create a window in a panel of Soft Navy cardstock, and one in white cardstock, then reversed the color behind it, popping it up with foam adhesive. I tucked the flower in, and then added a sentiment from Blessed that has newly released coordinating dies! I used some of the gorgeous new Dreamy Blossoms embellishment mix (SOOOO fun and dimensional!) and added a few Dazzling Clear gems to add a little extra sparkle! Here are more photos of the finished set:

Thanks Sweet Friend - Simon Says Stamp Always There Release

Good morning! I couldn't get enough of the sweet strawberry die in the BRAND NEW Simon Says Stamp Always There Release - so I'm back today with another card, this time featuring a bit of ink blending on the die cut pieces - I love how it makes them come alive even more! And just like butterflies, I can't get enough strawberries!!!

The Strawberry Pint die is just adorable no matter how you use it - but adding a touch of ink blending just makes it come alive! I die cut using Lipstick, Green Apple, Green Leaf, Honey, and white cardstocks, then ink blended a bit of Brick ink on the red layer of the strawberries, a bit of Kale on the large leaves, and a bit of Buttercream ink on the white flowers. I used a Cream cardbase, then cut a white frame with Sparkler Scallop Frames and a couple smaller layers of Apricot with the same die. I arranged little strawberry clusters on those small layers, then die cut the Sweet word die from that same lipstick cardstock, added a thanks from Small Thanks, and the friend word from For the Birds to build my own custom sentiment. I tied a pretty bow of May Arts Faux Silk white ribbon around, and added a sprinkle of Clear Dazzling gems to finish them off! Here are more photos of all that summery sweetness:

Enjoy the Ride Graduation - Simon Says Stamp Always There Release

 Good morning! I'm back today to share yet another card using the BRAND NEW Simon Says Stamp Always There Release! This one was a fun twist on a graduation card that I thought was kind of cute, and a little less traditional!

I started off by stamping the sweet little horse from Farm Sweet Farm on Rainbow Splash Caramel cardstock, and heat embossing it in white. I did the same with the grad hat from Graduation Greetings, but used black cardstock. I adhered them together, and mounted onto a die cut Stitched Circle, then stamped and added the sentiment as well. I used Fog cardstock to create a cardbase, then added thin strips of black cardstock across the cardfront before adhering the circle over top. Finished off with a frame created by die cutting with two sizes of A2 Notched Rectangles, then a sprinkle of Black Dazzling Gems to finish off the look! Here is a closer look at the finished card:

I put some of the ADORABLE new dies in this release to use, and created this sweet little trio of cards - the cuteness is just too much!

I started off by die cutting and assembling the adorable Fable Lion, Fable Elephant, and Fable Giraffe dies using a variety of different cardstock colors, and doing a bit of ink blending on the pieces to add some extra dimension. Cardstocks and inks are all listed below! I also die cut and created windows and layered frames using the new A2 Notched Rectangles dies and Sparkler Scallop Frames. The frame around the window is white glitter cardstock, and I tucked some pattern paper behind from Carta Bella Lemonade 6x6 paper pad. I added sentiments from the new Classic Friendship stamp and die set, heat embossed in gold, and then added coordinating gems in opposing corners of each card. Finished off with a few white gel pen dots on the cheeks (that also had a bit of soft pink inking on them) and coordinating bows from Prima yarn.
